WHAT'S IN A NAME?
A Supposed Baronet Who Arrives
and Departs Very Suddenly.


Fridays Charleston NeWs and Courier
chronicled the arrival at that city of ''Sir
Ernest Paget, England an English
baronet, who was 'doing" the States for
his health and pleasure. The same paper
had an interview with the distinguished"
gentleman in which Sir Ernest express
ed his dignified views Of Americans and
their ways, and also said he was greatly
astOnished to note how well the Duke of
Marlborough was treated, adding, with a
drawl ian English one, of course): and a
peculiar thing in you Americans to me Is,
you know, that he is received here, while at
his home he is to some extent boycotted.
The noble Baronet spoke of his home in
London, and said he was an intimate friend
of Rider Haggard, the novelist, and author
of 'She," king Solomon's
Mines" and other novels.
Judging from the denouement, the
Baronet had read of some of Haggard's va
Charleston was that he had lost a
watch chain made of a bracelet taken from
an Egyptian mummy and presented to him
by the Khedive of Egypt. Yesterday morn
ing the baronet shook the dust of Charleston
off his aristocratic feet, so to speak, and left
for this city. Arriving here at few
minutes past ten he went TO the Screven
House and registered. No room was as
signed him though he expressed himself as
DESTROYS of staying several days in this
beauteous city. While sitting in the ro-
tunda and Inhaling Savannahs pure
air, he CHANGED to be handed slip from
the New York Herald of Sept. Is, contain
ing a special from Newport, r. l., dated
Sept. Is, which alleged that one "Ernest A.
c. Paget," of London, had suddenly disap-
peared from that bright social world, leav-
ing numerous dishonored drafts behind him.
The dispatch stated that drafts drawn on
Drexel, Morgan q Co., for various
expenses of Mr. Paget, including his
board bill, had been returned dis
honored, no funds having been at
the bankers to his credit Mr.. Paget left
for Boston Sunday afternoon aud intended
to 60 to New York to the races this week,
so the special added. He is about 26 years
of age and in height is about five feet seven
inches, and good dresser. A bruise over
the left eye attracted attention
The case was placed in the hands of the
Newport police authorities Friday evening.
His creditors mourned his summary exit
and his lady friends failed. to account for
his sudden departure on Sunday
The titled Englishman read the slip
carelessly and scarcely changed color or APP
peared to be anywise affected by it. But
in very short time he sauntered up to the
counter, and, taking his valise, said he
would go out for lunch. He was seen no
more at the Screven House The 1:30
O'Clock Florida express, on the Savannah,
Florida and Western railroad, bore Sir"
Ernest to fresh worlds to conquer There
seemed no cause for the gentleman's hasty
departure, unless, it may be, the Herdtd's
special was trenching on delicate grounds.

A JUVENI :. TRAMP.
a Boy Who StetI - It From Home
lin Rinlaa


a Boy Who Sta =. It From Home
to ain Riches.
Louis A. Me = white boy aged sixteen,
was up before the Mayor yesterday charged
with having broken a seal on one of the
cars in the Central railroads yard The
officer who made the arrest stated that he
had been instructed to withdraw the
charge. In reply to the Mayors
questions the lad said he was from
Marietta, Ohio, and that he had beaten
his way from there. He expressed a desire
10 60 home, but said he would never go
home looking like tramp His plight was
rather bad and he certainly looked travel
stained and worn out The Mayor turned
him over to the City Court on a charge of
vagrancy
The Atlanta Constitution of recent
date, in brief local, noticed the finding of
a young white boy, who looked
yard at that place. The policeman
who found him took compassion on the
boys forlorn appearance and questioned
him about his home. The lads replies were
evasive, save that he said his parents were
well-to-do, and he offered no excuse for
running away. On being searched the
photograph of very pleasant-faced lady
was found on him. The officer asked him
who 1t was, and as the boy looked on the
face that appeared to be gazing reproach-
fully upon him, the tears came into his
eyes, and he gasped husldly, "Its-it's my
mother" He listened TO the officers kind
word, and promised to leave the city at
once and said he would go home. In all
probability this is the same lad, as the gen
eral description agrees with the appearance
of Meyer.

About Various Lines.

About Various Lines.
The Palatka, Fla, street railroad will be
built by the Palatka Street Railroad Com
pany
Machine shops will be established by the
Augusta and Chattanooga Railroad Com
pany, at Augusta, soon.
A bill has been introduced into the Geor-
gia Legislature to incorporate the jackson
and Indian Springs railroad.
The Apopka, Clay Springs and Gulf Rail
road Company is being formed in Florida.
The capital stock will probably be $4,000
Efforts are being made to build railroad
to grauite lands about four miles from Con-
years, GA. If the road is built several quar-
ries will be opened and developed.
Messrs Conant, Larnerd, Boylston and
Owens, of the Florida Southern Railway,
and Capt. James c. Baker, of New Orleans,
left Palatka Thursday in a special car for
Punta Gorda. Something may be expected
of this trip as Capt. Baker is said to be the
representative of steamship line.
'"The subject of railroad to Athens from
this place has been well discussed here this
week." says the jefferson Herald. "Our
people are elated over the interest mani
tested in the enterprise by the people of
Athens. Nothing is needed now but for the
people to measure their interest with their
money. Every step taken to help our town
outside the building of this road tends to
injure her interests. If we can convert the
talk and newspaper squibs into subscribed
stock the road will soon be built. Let your
money speak"
Madison Mddisonidn: Messrs. Hampton
and Bradine, having completed their con-
tract, have picked up their tools and refuse
to take another contract until they get pay
for work already done. All hands passed
through this citV Yesterday an rOIIfa
for Macon. They have taken contract on
the Great Southern and Florida railroad,
but will come back to the Macon and Gov
ington as soon as they get pay for past ac-
counts. Mr.. Hampton says the money is
good, but he cannot afford to wait so long
for it. Col. Toon Powell is still pegging
and his convicts are throwing dirt every
day. We are yet hopeful that things will
come out right and that the road will be
pushed through Immediately. AS to its
final completion no one has ever doubted
since the road reached Monticello.

SELF-DESTROYING BIRDS.
An Odd Scene Witnessed in the Court
House Square Last Night.

An Odd Scene Witnessed in the Court
House Square Last Night.
Full score of people were gathered out
in the court house square last night and
all were bird catching Around the electric
lights on the tower there flew what seemed
to be an enormous quantity of little birds,
and every now and then one of them would
fall to the ground, and soon it would be
picked I'D by one of the numerous people
who was watching for an opportunity to
catch the little creatures. They swarmed
about the light in countless numbers,
and off in the distance, where
the rays of light penetrated but family,
their white breasts looked like shooting
stars. Mr.. T. Perry, the taxidermSt, was
there picking up all he could. He said that
the birds were Maryland yellow threats and
red-eyed virios. They are migratory birds,
and they are now on their way to South
America to spend the winter In their flight
they are guided entirely by the moon and
stars, and when none of the heavenly lumi-
naries are shining they are at loss whittier
to fly, so they seek airy light that they sec.
For that reason they surrounded the
against the tower or the wires, and, being
stunned, fell to the ground. No less than
200 OF them were picked up III the Court
House Square, and there is no telling how
many We're found in other places There
was scarcely an office which was lighted last
night into which they did not fly, and many
of them were caught in such places. These
birds destroy themselves in their migrations
more than any other, and it is but small
per cent. of those who start who ever return
to the place which they leave.

HE WASN'T SHOT.
But His Vivid Imagination Played Him
a Sad Trick

DR.. S. c. Parsons, who has a drug store
streets. had quite little circus all to him
self last night. Early in the evening he
was startled by the abrupt and uncere-
monious entrance of several negroes, who
bore between them the form of
Robert II. Verdier The spokesman
called out as soon as he had en-
tered the store that his friend had been
shot and he was dying, declaration which
a moan from the supposed shot-riddled man
emphasized. The men laid their burden
down carefully as the doctor directed, and
then stood aside, conversing in whispers, lest
the sound of their voices should augment
his pain. The doctor asked where the
wound was and the supposed to be-dying-
man indicated by feeble wave
of his hand, his left hip. Imme-
diately it was barred, but no clets of gore
met the doctors anxious glance.
The mans body was then carefully ex-
amined, but nary wound could be found
81 think you are all right" finally said the
doctor, with an amused smile. 81 don't see a
scratch. How did it happenl" The corpse
recovered his vitality suddenly, and
leaping up, made the gas lights turn blue
his friends roared at the conf
cal ending of what they supposed
would be tragedy. 1t seems, as one of
them explained, they were near the Market
house, and got into a row with several other
negroes. Verdier must have been hit on
the hip bone, the blow giving him a sharp
shock. He thought he had been shot, and
fell to the ground His friends picked him
up and carried him to the drug store, while
the assaulting party fled. Verdier's wrath
was great over the joke at his expense, and
he vowed he would see the fellow who
struck him and make him suffer
Scarcely had they left, and the doctor re-
covered his risibleS over the ludicrous as
pect of the case, when Ed Fraser came in
with genuine wound. He was badly cut
over the left eye, and by some peculiar coin
cidence, by the same negro who struck Yer
der. When his wound was dressed he said
he was satisfied, and that he was going
home. It's case alike unto "who struck

AN ACCIDENT ON THE CENTRAL.
A Freight Train Jumps the Track
Two Trains Discontinued.

All the early trains on the Central rail
road were delayed yesterday by an acct
dent that occurred at the 145-mile post Fri
day night. A freight train was going up
the grade there, which is the steepest on the
line, and one of the journals broke The
wheel fell down, and threw the rail out of
place, and several cars left the track. The
damage was repaired by noon, but in the
meantime oil the trains had to transfer The
night train, which should have arrived
at 5:l5 O'Clock did not get in until $3.50
o'clock, but that was due to a delay at Ten
nile, where three carloads of negro excur-
sionists were taken aboard. The Central

were put on to make the Spartanburg CON
nection, but as the Richmond and Danville

to the Central the Spartanburg trains can
not be run, and Nos. 5 and being therefore

Labor-saving machinery is being con-
stantly introduced as a factor in saving
time, patience, anxiety and money. In no
one direction is the need of some such
means more marked than in the household
affairs and household management The
winters supply of coal aud wood is in itself
a bugaboo, but when the thought is COM
pleted with it, of the amount of time and
labor to be expended in starting fires, rak-
ing down ashes, renewing the supply for the
stove and CRATE by lifting heavily loaded
bod, etc, with the accompanying dust, dirt
and labor then the need of simple fuel
always ready for use, light and easily han
died; also doing away with trouble and
labor is a blessing, indeed. The Earth Fuel
Company at Platt street, New York city,
has put on the market the Earth Fuel,
which combines in remarkable degree the
qualities spoken of. The Fuel is said to burn
instantly and brilliantly, and to overcome
all the objections raised against other fuel.
